I have used E-bay a lot and (knock on wood) I have always had smooth transactions. I have 100% feedback on more than 500 transactions. I do not buy used electronics ie., RX, TX and etc. I use PayPal for the possibility that something may go wrong and they can help. When I first started E-bay I had a problem and went to conflict resolution and PayPal paid me for the item. Only time in 500+.
